Items Needed for Assembly

• A 1/2” socket or open-end wrench to remove the

four bolts securing the compressor to the wooden

shipping skid.

• A 3/8” socket or open-end wrench for installing the

hard rubber feet on the compressor’s legs.

• A pair of pliers to bend the cotter pin ends used to

retain the axle of the wheel on the compressor

tanks.

Unpacking Unit and Installing Wheel

1. Unpack the unit from the carton and remove the

plastic bag(s) containing wheel, axle, cotter pins,

and other hardware.

2. Inspect unit for damage and missing parts.

3. Insert the axle through the wheel hub, then position

the ends of the axle into the axle holding cups at

the front of the twin air tanks (The motor end is the

front.)

4. Install cotter pins into the holes in the axle holding

cups, then use a pair of pliers to bend the cotter

pin ends to retain the axle in the axle holding cups.

5. Using a 1/2” socket or open-end wrench, remove

the bolts holding the unit to the wooden shipping

skid, then lift the unit by the handles and

wheel it off the skid.

6. Place the flat side of one of the rubber feet against

the underside of one of the unit’s legs, then insert a

1/4”-20 bolt through the hole in the rubber foot and

tighten the bolt using a 3/8” socket or open-end

wrench. Repeat for the remaining three rubber feet.

WHEEL AND HANDLES DO NOT PROVIDE

ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY, OR

SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP AND

DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST

BE LIFTED OR PUSHED UP A RAMP.

Operating Location of the Air Compressor

The air compressor must be operated in a clean, dry,

and well-ventilated area. The air compressor’s

crankcase and head are designed with cooling fins to

provide proper cooling. The fan blades of the air

compressor, the flywheel, must be kept clear of

obstructions that could interfere with the flow of air

through the air intake filter.

Do not install the air compressor in a location

where heat is excessive. If the humidity in the

operating area is high, an air filter can be installed on

the air outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture.

This type air filter is not provided with this air com-

pressor and must be purchased separately. Closely

follow the instructions packaged with the filter for

proper installation.

If the air compressor is to be installed outdoors, be

sure there is a minimum of forty-eight (48) inches of

clearance on each side of the compressor. There

must be a flow of fresh air for proper cooling.

Do not allow the compressor to get wet if it is

installed outdoors.

Air Distribution (Piping)

PLASTIC OR PVC PIPE IS NOT DESIGNED

FOR USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR. RE-

GARDLESS OF ITS INDICATED PRESSURE

RATING, PLASTIC PIPE CAN BURST FROM

AIR PRESSURE. USE ONLY METAL PIPE FOR

AIR DISTRIBUTION.

If a pipe line is necessary, use pipe that is the same

size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will

restrict the flow of air. If piping is over 100 feet long,

use the next larger size. Bury underground lines

below the frost line and avoid pockets where conden-

sation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure to lines

before underground lines are buried to make sure all

pipe joints are free of leaks.

Connect the piping to the 3/8” NPT air outlet opening

at the outlet end of the air tank.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! IN THE EVENT

OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES

THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN ES-

CAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CURRENT.

THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY

GROUNDED.

General Guidelines

The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a

grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.

The plug must be used with an outlet that has been

installed and grounded in accordance with all local elec-

trical codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the

same configuration as the plug. See Figure 2. DO NOT

USE AN ADAPTER.

Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if

there are signs of damage.
